Tips:
- When applying, arrive a bit before opening time.
- Download, print, and fill out the application form completely at home. The consulate's room is quite small and can be quite chaotic. Have all your things prepared beforehand and get in "line".
- Check the national holidays (Thai and Vietnamese) beforehand online. A list is available on the website.
- No proof of funds needed.
All together: a succesfull trip because I was prepared and organized. Thanks to the consulate's website, this group, and its members.
